Natasha Romanoff

It had been a few months since HYDRA reviled itself inside of SHIELD, since Captain America, Falcon and herself had stopped the helicarriers from killing off millions of people. To the Black Widow however she still couldn’t believe it. She had trained and was raised inside the KGB, been an agent for them until she was given a second chance in life through SHEILD only to find out now that she had gone from the KGB to HYDRA. It had been a few months since she had released information about herself that she had sworn she never would; now many knew who she really was and some of what she had done. Granted there was information that wasn’t on the computers; like her real birth date and everything she had gone threw in the Red Room; even some of her missions that SHIELD had never known about. All that information was locked away inside her head; or stuffed in an old box on a KGB base somewhere. Since she had released all of SHIELD information Natasha Romanoff and slipped away, going into hiding. It was to keep the pressure off of her for a while why she figured out what shew as going to do; that of course didn’t last long for she wasn’t the type of person just to set around in whatever place she was calling home at the time. So when there was a request for tracking down and entering a HYDRA base she jumped on it.

Getting inside had been easy, but that was always the easy part. It was the getting back out that was the hard part. The mission was simple, get in and get information then get out. Natasha just slipped in through a window and up some stairs; then right into an office. That’s how easy it was and that was when she should have realized something was going to go wrong. Wrong came at the sounds of heavy footsteps above her and she knew what that meant as she pulled the flash drive out of the computer an shoved it into her suit. HYDRA was on their way down to say hello and she wasn’t going to disappoint in returning the greeting; as she slipped into the shadows of the room pulling out two widow bites ready to use on the first poor soul to enter.

<h1>Powers</h1><b>BOLD</b>Weaknesses:<P>Tasha is human, therefore she can be killed. She does have advantages over other normal humans but in the end if shot in the head it would kill her.<P>Trusting, she doesn't really trust people. This comes from her years as working as a spy. Use to seeing different angles, and never really trusting someone to be there or to be what they have claim to be has taken a toll on her. This doesn't mean she won't trust you, it just might take a very very long time; thre are those she trust and respect but that list is very short.<P>Tasha fear things that are out of her control. She does her best to not show it and fights for a way out, but just like everyone else she can and does get scared; though it's not often. <P>Abilities: <P>Natasha received the Red Room's variant of the Super-Soldier Serum, arming her with many otherwise unattainable attributes including:<P>+Peak Human Strength: Her physical strength is at the peak level of natural physical limits of a woman of her height, weight and build. She is capable of lifting up to 500 lbs.<P>+Peak Human Speed: Her speed is also enhanced to the peak of human capability. Natasha is as fast as a human can be without being classified as superhuman.<P>+Peak Human Agility: Natasha's natural agility is heightened to a level greater than that of an Olympic gold medalist.

The Black Widow possesses a skill set that, while augmented, or heightened by her attributes, are not dependent upon them, including:<P>+Master Martial Artist: Natasha is an expert in the field of martial arts. She is proficient in karate, judo, aikido, savate, boxing, and multiple styles of kung fu.<P>+Expert Acrobat:She is an Olympic class athlete, gymnast, acrobat and aerialist capable of numerous complex maneuvers and feats.<P>+Expert Marksman: Natasha is a very accurate marksman skilled in sharpshooting and knife throwing.<P>+Multilingual: She is fluent in Russian, English, French, German, Chinese, Japanese, and various other languages, even the dead language, Latin.<P>+Gifted Intellect: According to Marvel, Natasha's intellect is at level 3, putting her on par with Steve Rogers.

She displays an uncanny affinity for psychological manipulation and can mask her real emotions perfectly. Her talents and years of experience have enabled her to reach a high ranking as an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.<P>

<h2>Personality</h2>Tasha seems a very cold heart person at times, mostly because she puts her feelings aside for they are a sign of weakness. She is the product of what Russia had made her to be, the perfect spy. Emotion after all leaves a person weak and open for attacks. This being said it does not mean that she doesn't feel, it just means there are very few that will see her emotions. Those who know her are lucky to see the caring side that is Tasha, not to mention the little fun side that is part of her as well. Though she is about mission first, she has been known to let things loose for a moment and relax; though it never for very long. <P>She doesn't trust others, and there are only a few that she considers peers. Tasha is truly a woman of her job, most of her time is devoted to whatever mission she is on, or other task she might be pursuing on her own. Little time is left to be social, not that she has many friends to be social with.

<h1>History</h1><P>There are varying accounts of Romanova's early life. One account states that Nazis set the building Natasha was living in on fire in Stalingrad, and her mother threw her out the window to a Russian soldier before dying in the fire. The soldier’s name was Ivan Petrovitch, and he watched over Natasha for her entire life, remaining by her side as her chauffeur. <P>While under Ivan's protection, many adversaries attempted to attack her. Baron von Stucker abducted Natasha and presented her to the Hand in Madripoor. There, she was to become their Master Assassin until Captain America, Logan, and Ivan saved her. As Natasha grew and matured, she proved to be an amazing athlete and scholar, while gaining distinction in the USSR as a ballerina. <P>Another account establishes her as being raised from very early childhood by the U.S.S.R.'s "Black Widow Ops" program, rather than solely by Ivan Petrovitch. Petrovitch had taken her to Department X, with other 26 young female orphans, where she is trained in combat and espionage at the covert "Red Room" facility. There, she is bio-technologically and psycho-technologically enhanced; an accounting that provides a rationale for her unusually long and youthful lifespan. <P>She became their best operative from being trained in the infamous Red Room Academy, becoming excellent at fighting and information gathering. During this time she had some training under the Winter Soldier, Bukcy. During their training seasons however the two grew to feel for one another, thought they were not allowed to be together for Tasha was promised to married Alexi Shostakov. For a while they kept their love affair quiet until one day The Winter Solider disappeared. She was eventually arranged to marry Alexi Shostakov, a distinguished Soviet test pilot. It was there she was first dubbed the “Black Widow.”<P>The Soviet government intelligence (KGB) decided that the skill set of this couple would make them superb special operatives, and split them up while Alexi was away on a mission. Trained as the Red Guardian, Alexi became the Soviet Union’s answer to the United States’ Captain America. Natasha was told that her husband died in an experimental rocket crash, and was drafted into the KGB. The man named Logan resurfaced in America years later without any memory of his past, and in danger from Hydra assassins. She saved him and came upon him again when he stole the Red Storm Project from Russia alongside Carol Danvers and Ben Grimm. <P>At some point this life underwent a dramatic change when she was targeted for assassination herself, and the agent sent to kill her was the similarly gifted soldier, Clinton Barton. Instead of killing her, Barton spared her life and the pair developed a lasting partnership from that moment on. Following Barton, the Black Widow was drawn into a new life as an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.Romanoff later drew an assignment working in the Stark Industries Legal Department under the pseudonym of Natalie Rushman. The ulterior motive was for her to keep an eye on Tony Stark after he signed his company over to Pepper Potts. In reality, Romanoff had been assigned to assess whether he was suitable for a plan to bring together a group of people with unparalleled talents. Stark ran a search on her and discovered that she was fluent in French, Russian, Latin; and had done some modeling in Japan at some point. Romanoff became Tony's new assistant while he was in Monaco, then when she flirted with him at his birthday party he started to get suspicious about where she had come from. She arrived at a meeting Nick Fury was having with Tony Stark in Randy's Donuts, where Fury revealed her true name and affiliation. Natasha, along with Fury and Phil Coulson, went to Tony's house and she was told by Fury that she was to remain in position as an assistant. Later at Stark Industries, while Tony was visiting Pepper Potts, Natasha walked in and requested for Potts to sign something. When Potts left, Tony started to grill Natasha and told her that he found it amazing that she does what she does. When Tony claimed that she could not speak other languages, Natasha replied in Latin, then repeated herself in English, telling him that he could, "Either get, or be collected." <P>Romanoff attended the next Stark Expo, where Justin Hammer of Hammer Industries, unveiled his new Hammer drones and the War Machine armor worn by James Rhodes. Stark also arrived uninvited in his new and improved Iron Man armor to warn Rhodes about an impending attack from Ivan Vanko. It was then that Vanko surprised everyone by remotely gaining control of both the Hammer drones and the War Machine armor. While Stark led the immediate threat of the machines away from the expo, Potts and Romanoff confronted Hammer demanding to know Vanko's location. Romanoff put him in a neck lock and broke one of his glasses' lenses to force his confession. She then had Happy Hogan drive her to the nearest Hammer Industries facility, where Vanko was controlling the drones. <P>Once at the site, Romanoff left Happy to deal with a lone security guard while she penetrated deep into the facility, systematically disabling many more of the security force. Vanko had already abandoned his control systems and left by the time Romanoff found them. She quickly set about restoring control of the War Machine armor to Rhodes and was also able to radio tactical data, initially warning Rhodes and Stark of an incoming wave of drones, and finally another armored battlesuit, this one worn by Vanko. She then proceeded to steal Hammer's development projects and fled before the police came to the facility, just as it exploded. <P>While on assignment, in the middle of interrogating Georgi Luchkov, Romanoff received a call from Agent Coulson informing her of her next mission. She was to approach Banner, and enlist his aid in locating the Tesseract, a dangerous object that had fallen into the wrong hands. Even though the thought of Banner's immensely powerful alter ago terrified her, Romanoff carried out the assignment with aplomb and soon had Banner on board. <P>Her next assignment was to apprehend Loki, the Asgardian responsible for both the theft of the Tesseract and the corruption of Agent Barton. The mission was successful, although it took the combined skills of Steve Rogers, Tony Stark in his Iron Man armor, and Natasha herself at the gun controls of a S.H.I.E.L.D. jet, to subdue him. On the return trip they also encountered Loki's brother Thor, who had designs on Loki's capture of his own. <P>Natasha's skills as an interrogator made her a prime choice for extracting information from Loki once S.H.I.E.L.D. had him in custody. She adeptly tricked the trickster into revealing valuable information, although his manipulative responses had also hit their mark, and Romanoff became increasingly obsessive about finding restitution for her past. Foremost in these thoughts was her need to wrest Agent Barton from Loki's control, but she found that she didn't have to search. Instead, he found her. Barton, leading a commando team against the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier, caused an explosion that collapsed part of the ceiling on Romanoff and Banner. This triggered Banner's transformation into the Hulk and rapidly escalated the problem of enemy infiltration to a chaotic two-front war, with Romanoff barely escaping the Hulk's ferocity with her life. During the chaos she also encountered Agent Barton, and engaged him in a lengthy brawling duel that only ended when blows to his head knocked him unconscious. <P>Loki's escape presented a fresh problem for the survivors of the attack. Romanoff attended to her old partner while others counted their losses, but she was quick to join them once they had resolved to go on the offensive. Following Loki to Manhattan, Romanoff and the others were confronted by the sight of a huge dimensional rift above the city. Loki's army, a horde of Chitauri warriors, came pouring through and Romanoff found herself again battling in close quarters, this time against an alien foe bent on world domination. <P>The martial arts skills and small arms of the Black Widow were ideal for battling the Chitauri in the streets, and when her own weaponry was spent, she made good use of Chitauri armaments turned on their previous owners. Eventually she captured one of their aircraft and used it to reach the top of Stark Tower where she was instrumental in dealing with the device that held the portal open, thus sealing the rift and barring the amassed forces still waiting to pass through. <P>When the battle was over, Romanoff gathered with the others to see off Thor and the captive Loki. The threat had been neutralized and for a time the world would have little need of its protectors. The others went their separate ways, while Romanoff and Barton returned to S.H.I.E.L.D.<P>Tasha has now been living between New York City and Washington D.C. Working within the system of SHIELD.

<h2>Roleplay</h2><P>There was always something, always someone to track down and get information from. To many people they would grow tired of doing the same thing over and over again; or what appeared to be the same thing. For Natasha however this was pretty much her life, for she really didn't have anything outside of hunting down the next target or finding the next hidden secret. At first she was used in order to gather information or kill those that would threaten the originations that had trained her. She was the best at what she had done, she knew this as they had; however they had betrayed her and in the end she had turned her own back on them and now she was a part of a different kind of originations'. Though she still thought of herself as her own person but Black Widow as a member of a team known as the Avengers and helped in the origination of SHIELD. <P>

It was for SHEILD that she was about to break into this large looming building, for inside they believe was information about a new threat; a man had come on their radar that was unlike they had ever seen. He was a ghost, one moment he was there and the next he was gone. There was no trace left of him, and from what Sharon Carter had stated it was clear he was a very skilled fighter; which meant they needed someone with great skill to track down any information on him. That was how Tasha ended up here now. <P>

Tasha had been dropped off on the top of the building, it was pointless to just go in threw the front door or out that way as well. That was where most of the security was located, and though she could handled however many guard they had on the ground, it was sometimes it was best to not draw attention to one's self. Though is she didn't want to draw attention to herself jumping from the side of the building into a free fall with nothing but a harness and rope might not have been a good idea. It was however a great idea since she wanted access to an office window that was half way up the building. <P>

Few seconds that's all it took to pull out of the dive, stop in front of the window, and cut it open before she was inside. Unhooking the rope from the belt she wore and Black Widow was on her way. The problem with best laid out plans was the fact that they never went the way you want. As it was the hall that Tasha had hoped would be empty so that she could slip into the enclosed data room was not empty after all. Instead of empty the hall held four men, who happen to want coffee at that very moment. <P>When Tasha had slipped out of the room, the five of them just stood there for a second looking at each other; after all the men were pretty shocked to see a woman in a skin tight black suit just come waling out of an office. Tasha tilted her head to the side as if to say bring it on, and that was when the fun started.<P>Pulling two small disk from the back of her belt, Tasha threw them onto the floor where they exploded filling the room with a smoke giving her cover. She than charged at the men, jumping into the air she came down on one man her feet into his chest, kicking him back and into the others. She landed in a crouch but was back up on her feet again, taking another man by the arm and using it against him she was able to manipulate him into a position where knocked him out using her elbow. Using his body she swung him into the man she had nailed already in the chest causing both to crash and slide to the wall. <P>The other two had tried to back away from the smoke, giving Tasha the chance to pick up speed. Rushing at them, Tasha used the first man to get some height by running up his body; which caused him to fall back; where in the right moment she jumped off and went fighting at the other guy feet first. Her legs caught around his neck and with the momentum she swung him around and down to the grounded; where she gently took his head and hit it against the wall. The one man she used to dive off of however was jumping back to his feet. Slowing rising up Black Widow took out another disk and toss it at his feet. She turned and walked away as the disk sent bolts of electricity up the man's legs. <P>Now that was over, getting the information was going to be easy. She may not be as great as Tony Stark in hacking into computers but she did know a few things.

It has been a few months since two universes clashed, merging to form one. With new cities and people appearing from nowhere, it took people off guard. While some started to form good relations, the new world was being dragged to chaos. Unexpected disasters and unfortunate events made each side suspect of each other, adding to the bad tension. Now the world is heading for a Civil War with no return. And everyone must choose their side.
